Novel Type of Adult Diaper from Natural Fibers AUTEX2019 – 19th World Textile Conference on Textiles at the Crossroads, 11-15 June 2019, Ghent, Belgium NOVEL TYPE OF ADULT DIAPER FROM NATURAL FIBERS Mankodi Hireni1, Dalsania Krishna2 1,2Department of Textile Engineering, Faculty of Technology and Engineering, The M.S University of Baroda, Kalabhavan, Vadodara, India h.r.mankodi-ted@msubarosda.ac.in ABSTRACT The adult diaper are having some functional problems based on which the work has been focused in direction to make diapers more compact and using natural fiber like banana and hemp to enhance the comfort properties and making it eco friendly. The different combinations of banana and hemp fiber taken as core and treated with antimicrobial natural finish like neem. The performance has been checked for its functional and comfort properties. The result found satisfactory, the modification has been done to improve the performance. The novel idea related to smart diaper to sense wetting by incorporating conductive wire has been suggested. Key Words:Natural fiber, Smart diaper, Moisture Management, Absorbency, Comfort aspects 1. INTRODUCTION The construction of adult diapers is similar to baby diaper with a top sheet, distribution layer, absorbent core, back sheet, a cuff system and elastic leg gatherers. The inner layer of adult diaper facing towards the skin has to rapidly transfer liquid to the layer beneath it. The direct skin contact layer demands high degree of softness.The absorbing and distributing layer below transfers the liquid to the storage area [1]. The absorbent core layer consisting of a mixture of cellulose flakes and super absorbent polymer blocks and absorbs the liquid. The outer layer facing the clothing forms a moisture proof barrier. It therefore generally consists of a polyethylene film or a breathable nonwoven polyethylene composite are simultaneously gentle to the skin. Typical fiber here primarily includes cotton, rayon and cellulose, as well as synthetic fibers and various mixtures [2]. The absorbent hygiene products have become an indispensible feature of modern day living for all generations. Core of diaper is the main functional part of the product affecting its performance. The performance requirements of the diaper core material are absorption capacity, absorption rate and water retaining capacity. Core consists mainly of super absorbent polymer, which are non-biodegradable and cellulosic flakes. Thus this work has been focused on making core more effective, eco friendly by using natural fibers like banana and hemp in the core. Fibers are treated with natural neem finish for antibecterial properties. Smart diaper concept has been introduced by imparting conductive yarn to sense wetness. 2. PROBLEMS RELATED TO EXISTING PRODUCT The problems arising with the products existing in the market are regarding their social, comfort, performance and environment aspects. It is socially accepted that the bladder control skills are acquired during childhood, and individuals suffering from incontinence face the stigmatization of their problem. Adult diapers are traditionally thick, visible and even noisy when user walk. This social stigma becomes a barrier for the person to use adult diapers especially in lower economic countries. The existing product does not offer great comfort as they have bulky structure because of the high amount of material used. Baggy structure doesn’t fit properly and leads to friction and rashes. Moisture felt on the skin leads to bacterial infection. The commercial products mainly use super absorbent polymers (SAP) with Core AUTEX2019 – 19th World Textile Conference on Textiles at the Crossroads, 11-15 June 2019, Ghent, Belgium material, which perform well but they are non biodegradable and thus harms the environment. By making product more compact and thin, we can improve the comfort which will reduce the problem of rashes and reduce social stigmatization as wearing diaper will be less visible. Thus to make the product eco friendly, biodegradable and more comfortable natural fibers and its combination has been used in the novel type of adult diaper. 3. NOVEL CONCEPT In this work novel concept of adult diaper using natural fibers has been introduced. Natural banana fiber and hemp fiber has been used to make the core of the adult diaper eliminating the super absorbent polymers making the product more biodegradable. A different combination of the layering of both the fibers has been tried in the core. To reduce bacterial infection these fibers were given natural antibacterial finish by using neem extract. The smart diaper concept has been introduced by incorporating conductive yarn with the help of integrated technology which able to sense and detect moisture level of diaper. This type of novel idea can offer assistance to patients, who are unable to have complete control over their bodily functions and having no senses. This type of modification in product can also help to serve the physiological needs of the patients and give solution for continence management [3], [4]. 4 METERIALS AND METHODOLOGY 4.1 Materials The diaper core has been prepared using banana and hemp fiber. The raw banana fiber has been collected from Navsari Agricultural University, Gujarat. A further fiber has softened by softening treatment as shown in figure1. Hemp fiber used in the core was cottonized procured from Boheco, Mumbai as shown in figure 2.The Spunbond-Spunbond (SS) nonwoven fabrics has been used as top and bottom sheets were procured from Ahlstrom, Mundra, Gujarat. Figure 1. Banana Fibre Figure 2. Hemp Fiber 4.2 Experimental set up The banana and hemp fibers core has been prepared by formation of web on card as shown in figure 3.The staple length of banana has been kept 4cm were opened up and feed to miniature card to prepare web. Similarly hemp fibers and of 50:50 banana/hemp has also been prepared. Six layers of web have been taken to make single core. The different combinations of layer have been prepared by compressed under hydraulic press machine under high pressure for 20 minutes along with top and bottom sheet. AUTEX2019 – 19th World Textile Conference on Textiles at the Crossroads, 11-15 June 2019, Ghent, Belgium Figure 3. web formation on miniature card Further Banana fiber has been treated with neem extract. The neem leaves were taken and washed properly with water to remove the contaminations on the surface of leaves. These washed leaves pat dried with absorbent cloth and excess moisture from the surface is removed. These leaves were then oven dried at 150°C for 2 minutes and crushed into fine powder. The 10gm of neem powder and 100ml of methanol were stirred and mixed for 60 minutes and then filtered with filter paper. The filtered solution of 20% neem extract was mixed with water to get miscible solution. The prepared web was sprayed with the above solution and allowed to dry at room temperature. The web color change has been observed before and after neem treatment as shown in figure 4. Figure 4. Banana web before and after neem extract treatment 4.3 Performance Check The sample preparation has been done using an acrylic sheet template of 80x12cm having five circular holes each of diameter 4cm and having distance between two circles 7cm [5]. Specific sizes of circular samples were cut from the web. These samples were used for testing thickness and absorption test. The saline water has been prepared adding 9 gm of NaCl in 1litre water. The water absorption % was found taking first dry weight of sample.The samples has been dipped in saline water for 10 seconds and then left for 5 minutes outside so water can be drain. After 5 minutes weight of wet sample has been taken. The % absorption calculated using given formula (1). Water absorption (%) = (wet sample weight-dry sample weight)X100 wet sample weight …….(1) AUTEX2019 – 19th World Textile Conference on Textiles at the Crossroads, 11-15 June 2019, Ghent, Belgium To find holding capacity further sample has been kept under weight of 2 kg for 5 minutes so that unabsorbed water can remove and again sample weight has been taken after compression. The % holding capacity calculated using given formula (2). Experiment has been repeated for all the samples and data was recorded. Holding Capacity (%) = (wet sample weight after compression-dry sample weight)X100 wet sample weight after compression ….(2) Antibacterial property of samples was examined by zone of inhibition and viable count method, according to test method AATCC 100-1998. The antibacterial activity was checked against both gram positive bacteria S. aureus (ATCC 25923) and gram negative bacteria E. coli (ATCC 35218) obtained from an overnight culture were suspended in nutrient broth. The 200 ml was spread on Muller Hinton Agar (MHA) plates to obtain a semi-confluent growth. The samples were then placed on the inoculated medium and the plates were kept for incubation for 24 hours at 37°C. The inhibition zones were then observed [6]. 5. RESULT AND DISSCUTION The different core samples has been prepared along with top and bottom sheets and checked for its performance like % absorbency, % holding and antimicrobial properties. The four samples were prepared with six layers of different combination of banana and hemp fibers as shown in Table1. Table 1.

  • The Chief's Gorilla Guide for Looking Good in Uniform
    The Chief’s Gorilla Guide For Looking Good In Uniform By Chief Master Sergeant Robert D. Chiafos CHIEF, IOWA CIVIL AIR PATROL ACADEMY Camp Dodge, IA 3rd Edition (Revised) January 2007 The Commander’s Responsibility Each commander needs to acknowledge and accept responsibility for the appearance of all individuals under their command. Every military unit has a uniform culture. Left undirected, and on their own, members of the unit will collectively and unconsciously set a standard for wearing the uniform. Once established, that standard will perpetuate itself. As new members come in they will observe the standard, and dress down or up to match it. In any unit where uniforms are not inspected regularly, or where the leadership fails to immediately confront individual violators; the standard will plummet like water seeking its lowest level. This is a serious breach of military discipline and the worst kind of leadership! Sadly, in some units, the senior members are the greatest offenders. No matter how bad the current standard is in your unit, it can be turned around. First, the commander must meet standards, if you don’t - correct it! You cannot conduct an inspection, or correct infractions, when the offenders look better than you do. Next, demand compliance from your Cadet Programs Officer, and all cadet officers and NCOs. When infractions are observed, use the chain of command to immediately confront and correct violations. When repeated correction fails, revoke the privilege of wearing the Air Force Uniform. Openly reprimand offenders and reward those who exceed the standards. Uniform inspections must be the first order of business at any CAP meeting, gathering, or other event.

  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.

  • "It Worked for Me..." by Karen Koles
    The Executive Office on Aging Presents "It Worked For Me..." By Karen Koles A Compilation of Caregiving Tips by Karen Koles, A Former Caregiver and Facilitator of the Eldercare Support Group When my family and I first started this journey called “caregiving,” we searched unsuccessfully for a support group that would meet our specific needs. During this time of search, Mom and I enrolled in a state-sponsored class for caregivers where we met others who were in similar situations as ours. Our last class session was the Saturday following Hurricane Iniki where we decided to start a support group of our own without the guidance of professionals. We must be doing something right as we have been meeting for almost fifteen years. We call ourselves the Eldercare Support Group, and we meet on the last Saturdays of the month (except for December) from 9:30a – 12:30p at Kamehameha Homes Community Hall. We occasionally invite guest speakers to address our group. But usually our meetings involve sharing personal experiences, crying together, and encouraging each other with the reminders that we are not alone in this experience. We also support each other during the inevitable periods of grief. We tell each other which vendors to avoid, share information that we have learned from attending seminars and workshops, and help each other problem solve by sharing what has worked for us under similar circumstances. We tell each other where to buy diapers, which agencies to contact for specific help, and share a pot luck meal during each of our gatherings. We always welcome other past, present, and future caregivers to join us at our monthly meetings.
